PARIS (AP) — Stephen Curry had only five 3-pointers in his first four games of the Paris Olympics combined. The shot just wasn't falling.
And then came the medal round.
The all-time 3-point king in NBA history found his stroke in the nick of time for the Americans, making 17 3-pointers in the last two games against Serbia and France to help lead the U.S. to its fifth consecutive gold medal with a 98-87 win.
The last four of those 3-pointers came in the final 2:46 of the gold-medal game — a staggering display that anyone who watched will be hard-pressed to forget.
